A Suzanne Neville Bride for a Botanical Wonderland Jewish Wedding at the Royal Lancaster, London, UK

21/10/2024 by Karen Cinnamon

Get ready for a truly unforgettable London Jewish wedding! Leanne and Dudi’s celebration at the Royal Lancaster featured a crowd of 400, a fabulous floral chuppah, a gorgeous lace gown by Suzanne Neville, and an epic party with a packed dancefloor and some seriously incredible Israeli dancing – thanks to the couple’s band, Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor The White Keys.

In Leanne’s words, The White Keys were “a fantastic band, really got stuck in with the guests and able to understand the vibe throughout,” and we couldn’t agree more!

Photographer Paul Toeman captured all the joy and energy of the day so beautifully – read on for the full story!



How We Met

Leanne, the bride: We met online on Hinge (dating app) coming out of Covid. Dudi works for his family company M&Sons in construction and I work for a Global Tech event, Data Centre World London.

Our first date was like a business meeting, we are both very work motivated so we discussed a lot about our jobs, our goals and ambitions over a lovely bottle of red (or 2!)Continue ReadingContinue Reading

A Mira Zwillinger Bride for a Romantic Jewish Wedding Weekend at the Fairmont Hotel, Windsor, UK

20/02/2023 by Karen Cinnamon

Ellie-Nick-Fairmont-Windsor-UK

If you love a good floral chuppah, have we got a treat for you! Today’s couple, Ellie, a fashion stylist and interior designer, and Nick, a property investor, knew they wanted their chuppah to make a statement – and does it ever! Covered in the bride’s favorite flower, gypsophila, it’s serious #chuppahgoals.

Given Ellie’s design background, it’s no surprise she had a strong vision for not only the chuppah, but the whole aesthetic of the day: a white and neutral color scheme, with lots of candles and white flowers to create a mystical and romantic fairytale theme. And it goes without saying that the bride opted for a super-stylish gown, from Israeli designer Mira Zwillinger.

But there was so much more than looks to this wonderful Jewish wedding – it was also an epic party, thanks to Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor Sensation Band who got everyone dancing with the perfect mix of current music and wedding classics.

Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor Denee Motion filmed the day beautifully, capturing every moment and editing the highlight reel to perfection – and James Mason is behind Ellie and Nick’s most wonderful photos.  

And we love that the duo opted to set up their Jewish wedding gift list with Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor The Wedding Shop – nor are we in the least surprised to hear that Ellie and Nick were thrilled with their experience!

There’s so much more to say about this fabulous wedding – read on for all the details in the bride’s own words!

How we Met

Ellie, the bride: We met at a Jewish charity event in 2016 and have never really spent a day apart since! We got engaged after 5 and a half years of being together in November 2021, we had a 9 month long engagement which was such a perfect amount of time to plan our wedding.Continue ReadingContinue Reading
